Agreed that women CAN be more critical but also agree women on this site are very encouraging. I wish I could alter the original post to more clearly say what I was thinking. Either way thank you for your comment and tell your partner thank you as well.

For lack of better words, I suppose yes...I’m wondering if they look “saddle bag-ish.” I’ve been working hard on recomping, but my “ thick thighs“ really never go away. I AM comfortable with my shape, it was just a conversation I had with girlfriends and I did a very poor job of articulating myself in my original post. I…

Thanks all!! I just reread my post (I should’ve carefully done that before posting) and noticed all my horrible grammatical errors. I could’ve also articulated myself better. To be be clear, I’m happy with my shape although I’d still like to lose about 15 or 20 pounds. The debate I was having with friends was very…

Super well done!!

I have used HappyScale for years and am used to daily weighing. I always enjoyed seeing the trends, but this time around I’m having a harder time with it. I think it’s time to just put the scale away for a bit. Easier said than done.

Thanks! SO dang frustrating sometimes. 😊

Congratulations on your hard work!

Following... I was wondering the same thing.

To say I’m already obsessed is an understatement! Whether or not I lose weight from it, I just feel GOOD doing it. Although, I certainly hope it helps me to drop a few pounds. 😊

Update: I got my rebounder yesterday and can hardly stay off it. I’m a little bouncing fool. I love it!!

It arrives Friday and I’m so excited! Thank you for the encouragement and endorsement of a cool product.

I’ll be honest... I only clicked on this to get a chuckle of of the next “ridiculous trend.” Well... silly me. This sounds awesome and perfect for my small space. I just went to Amazon and purchased one. :)

I went to Goodwill yesterday looking for something. One of my favorite things to do is skim through the jeans section looking for high end denim. And... there usually is some. Yesterday I ran across a pair of Hudson's (retails around $200) but they were a size 28 (6-8) and a "super skinny" style. I needed a new pair of…

This is the attitude that wins the game! Great work and fantastic positivity.

@sal10851 I'm so sorry to hear you've had these frustrating experiences. I know it can be hard to get "other people" on board, but I'm proud of you taking control for YOU. Wishing you nothing but the best in your journey.

@AnnPT77 Thank you so much for your thoughtful response. Yes, it is funny how differently two people approach things. In honesty, part of my reason for "isolation" in the beginning is because I'm not very good at limiting my drinking to only one drink. For me, one just doesn't work in the beginning, so it has to be zero.…

Pho with half the noodles. High in sodium, but otherwise pretty healthy if you don’t add heaps of hoisin sauce. Filling and yummy. Just my opinion though.

@BZAH10 - It definitely doesn't work long term, but it's a good kick-off for me. After doing this for sometime, I've found I really need find my "groove" the first few weeks. It's never been successful for me before. I cave under pressure or find excuses. For whatever reason, once I get a little time under my belt I'm…

Great work! 45 down and 20 to go here.

Everything! Honestly. Pork chops and chicken breast come out cooked to perfection. Just coat in your favorite seasoning (I love simple garlic and pepper) and cook. You'll wonder how you ever lived without one. Also agree with the above posters about "fried foods" like french fries, wings, eggrolls, etc.

I mostly have an active imagination. I also have 2 dogs, a taser and a baseball bat. And I live in a pretty safe area. In all seriousness, it’s been an amazing experience. My neighborhood has donated so much and I’m frankly in a little over my head. But, things are starting to go, which is good.

It’s a good question. I’ll move it inside. I move it in each night. If things get desperate, it’ll all go to a food shelf, because frankly, I don’t want my house broken into. I’ll post a sign when it’s gone. And I’ve Individually wrapped the TP in Saran Wrap. 😉

I started a “Free Little Food Shelf” today. Community donations have been great. Not too many takers so far, but I hope that changes. I’m in Minnesota, USA.

This gutted me. Seriously. Where are you located? If I can help in any way, I'd like to try.

I just watched this and was horrified.

@snowflake954 Sending love from Minnesota, to my fellow Minnesotan. Thank you for the continued updates and I will keep you in my positive thoughts. I wish you safety, health and continued healing for Italy.

This is the best thing I have read. Ever.

@missysippy930 and @snowflake954 If either of you need anything, let me know and I’ll try to help!

I’m in MN too. I think I read an earlier post that said you’re in the New Prague area? I’m in St. Paul. I too, like your daughter, am going to avoid visiting mom and dad. My mom has had pneumonia a few times (although she’s the healthiest person I know) and my dad suffered a stroke in January and had a fall last week; both…

What works for me most days is just reminding myself why I want it.
